Now it's starting to work
It appears that the careless I often practiced with 35mm processing
had to be dealt with in 8x10. Even the 4x5 work I did was more tolerant of temp differences and time changes. The Bergger is not very tolerant. Not much latitude. I'm going to return to TMax 100 & see if this extra care helps as much with that film. The weekend history: Yesterday I did a couple more test shots with the Bergger. Just a couple shots of some flowers under a single flood for lots of contrast. (Earlier tests were natural light.) Exposure was @ iso100. Negs looked good after yesterday's processing. 9 minutes in tmax @ 75f. Even so they might have done well with an additional 30 sec or perhaps a little extra saturation. iso80 might be good with that film. Also ... Contact printing was done on some matte finish, fast import paper. To prevent fogging I picked up a "real" safelight bulb (orange) @ Midwest. This fast Oriental paper fogged! Time to get a real red one. Collin -------------------- Not all Conservatives are Nazi/Fascists. But the Left has done an excellent job of mixing up the rhetoric and creating confusion on what these terms mean. You can see the difference in the behavior. The modern Conservative movement works to create an open environment of individual freedom and dignity, allowing individual opportunity for success and failure, and to preserve value. The modern Fascists (& cohorts) on the other hand, always (1) instigate a level paranoia (2) for the purpose of imposing regulation. (But don't confuse the accusation of this with the actual activity. Watch actions, not words.) -- just me |
